The proposal has been designed for teachers and heads from twenty-six kindergartens in the area of Campana. The idea is to train them about play, resignifying its importance and reviewing institutional, classroom and general teaching projects with a view to strengthening the play proposals in a range of different formats for work with children.

As well as training, eleven kindergartens received play libraries, including board games, drama and building to help the teachers reinforce classroom learnings. This approach strengthens the idea of using educational equipment as a key concept to improve teaching practices and fundamentally to enrich the experience of the youngest children.

These are for primary level teachers and aim to teach them about health and nutrition with a view to improving people’s habits and the school nutritional environment. Teachers are trained in these subjects and also acquire novel resources to help them with their work, including a book, activity manual, game and video.

The idea is that school nutrition be aimed at promoting participation and a sense of responsibility at individual, family and community level to foster the appropriate learning and skills required for healthy eating.

During 2009, training days were held in Cordoba for 55 teachers from urban and rural schools in the area of Manfredi and General Paz. These sessions were also held in the Tancacha district for thirty-three teachers. In 2010, it was the turn of twenty-four teachers from thirteen schools in the districts of Puerto General San Martín and San Lorenzo in the province of Santa Fe. In the area of Ramallo, province of Buenos Aires, a total of sixty teachers took part in an introductory session and a subsequent follow-up day.

School No. 87 "Provincia de Córdoba" in the Las Cejas district in Tucumán has just celebrated its one hundredth anniversary and Bunge was present at the festivities. Donations were made of school materials for over 300 children as well as a complete set of audio equipment for the school to use in for events and music lessons, for instance.

During 2010, fifty primary and secondary school pupils from schools in Ramallo and San Nicolás, attended a talk on looking after the land, given by environmental educationalists from Cascos Verdes, a not-for-profit organization which works for social inclusion and environmental protection.

Activities included useful tips on energy saving, making good use of natural resources, classifying rubbish, reducing waste and putting in practice the concept of the three “Rs”: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Furthermore, the pupils took back with them posters with the key concepts to carry out awareness raising campaigns at each school.

This activity aimed to promote play at primary schools to help younger children develop. Presential workshops were held with the heads and teachers on theoretical subjects as well as practical sessions. At the end of each workshop, each school received a donation of a play cupboard with a varied assortment of games.

The workshops were held in the localities of San Lorenzo and Puerto General San Martín in the province of Santa Fe. Twenty-eight teachers from eighteen schools in the area took part, and there was also a games day held at two schools for pupils at which the play cupboards were handed over.

In Ramallo, an extra training day was held to build on the play project implemented in 2008. The meeting was held to analyze the strengths of the project and other aspects to improve the impact of the activity at each school.

At the end of 2010, Bunge carried out a solidarity crusade with the Bunge y Born Foundation to help the families and children from the Pozo del Tigre in Formosa following a tornado which swept away many houses and schools.

Donations were made, taking into account the most urgent needs, to the five primary schools in the location so that their pupils were able to finish the school year. The donation benefited nearly one thousand children, with shoes for each one, dictionaries, story books and mineral water.

The donation ceremony was held on Tuesday 24, November, 2010 at the No. 9 Dr. Nicolás Avellaneda school under the auspices of its head, Olga Castro, who received all the donations and held an event with the heads of the other four schools which also received help.

In 2009, after the Tartagal community was hit by a landslide after the Pilcomayo river burst its Banks, Bunge launched an aid campaign to help school children there. In February it sent school equipment for the 12,690 pupils at the twenty-six schools in the area so that they would be able to start the school year with the basic materials.

The donation was coordinated by the Bunge y Born Foundation and included pencils, coloring pencils, white paper, schoolbooks and other materials required for a school kit for each pupil, calculating the quantities required according to the intake figures for each school.

In the framework of the “Secret Santa” Campaign, Bunge invited its employees to join in and receive a present for their children in Exchange for a game or toys to be given to educational institutes for under-privileged children.

The Kindergarten No. 907 in San Isidro benefited from donations given by collaborators from the Buenos Aires headquarters and a large number of books and playground games given by the company itself.

In 2008, Bunge carried out, through the Bunge y Born Foundation, a donation to the Cooperative Association of the Physical Education Center No. 60 in Ramallo to cost out the building improvements required for the Sports Complex used by schools for all kinds of sporting and open-air recreational activities.

With an investment of $100,000, the restoration work included improvements to the pitches, changing rooms and building a storage area so that the instructors had somewhere to put their working equipment.
